Yankees acquire bullpen bullet

New York lands All-Star Chapman in deal with Reds

The New York Yankees bolstered an already dominant bullpen on Monday by acquiring hard-throwing All-Star closer Aroldis Chapman from the Cincinnati Reds for four minor leaguers.

Chapman became available after the Reds' deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers fell through during baseball's winter meetings three weeks ago after it was learned Florida police investigated an accusation of domestic violence involving the Cuban left-hander.
